Nice. I am glad that your here for the long haul. I started about a month or two before you and it has been a wild ride with it falling from 8$ to 0.80 cents and watching people drift away from the platform. It is telling who is left here and who simply appreciate the ability to have an independent platform that they can share their work that is not controlled by some management team on behalf of some shareholders. The irony is that the people who stick around now are the ones who will make some money in the next spike.

Two points to add; I am surprised you did not mention @photofeed as in my opinion they were instrumental in pulling together the photography community. Also I would suggest people (photographers in particular) check out steempeak.com (@steempeak) It is a much more beautiful platform to interact with the steem blockchain than steemit.com and even has a portfolio mode.

Excellent post and I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting you here on steem over this past year. A well deserved 1k followers !
